Cool Website That Estimate Value of Homes
This site was highlighted in digg.com today, its too cool not to mention it here.
Although it’s in beta and applies only for the US, but maybe somebody can do it here in Malaysia. Looks like it’s based on Google Maps technology, or something similar, but using satellite photos (from Google Earth?)
Here’s what you do:
1. Go to Zillow.com
2. Type in the name of an actual street and the city it is in. For a real example, type Apple Street in the first box and Chicago in the second box. Entering an inexistent street or city will yield nothing.
3. Then press ‘GO‘. You’ll see a satellite image of the houses on the street with their estimated price tags. Cool eh? You can scroll the scale to see a bigger picture or a close up. If you can’t see the homes, you need to zoom in until you do. Site may be a little slow.
I tried some other actual famous place like Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles (house prices start from USD$1mil). Go ahead. Try it yourself.
Like I said, I wonder if doing a KL version is possible…?
